Anne Charlotte Leffler, Victoria Benedictsson and Frida Stéenhoff were all part of the Modern Breakthrough in Swedish literature. By utilizing Jürgen Habermas theoretical works on communicative action, and Nancy Fraser?s supplementary reading of his theory, this essay makes clear that the authors? struggle for an understanding and a rethinking of social norms in their plays Skådespelerskan (1873), Romeos Julia (1888) and Lejonets unge (1896) can be read as a contribution to the public debate. Dialogue has a key function for female authors during the Modern Breakthrough.

Just a few years ago, Sweden and the EU were not affected so strongly by world market prices for cereals. EU was a surplus-area and to a substantial degree a local market.

Föreliggande studie genomfördes i form av en enkätundersökning och syftade till att kartlägga förekomsten av självskadehandlingar bland studenter vid Lunds Universitet. Ett annat syfte var att ta reda på i vilken utsträckning faktorer, som påverkan från subkulturella strömningar, medias influenser eller en önskan att utmana tabun och "spränga" gränser kan vara bidragande till fenomenets uppkomst och vidmakthållande. Könsskillnader, frekvens och motiv bakom självskadehandlingarna var andra faktorer som undersöktes. Resultaten visar att 31.8 % av studenterna någon gång hade skadat sig själva. Studien fann inga signifikanta skillnader mellan könen i förekomst av självskadebeteende, vilket däremot gjordes avseende anledningen till självskadehandlingarna.

För mig är veckotidningen en avkoppling, en flykt från vardagen. Här kan jag läsa om sådantsom inte är djupt eller kräver alltför mycket eftertanke. Min föreställning om veckotidningarär dock lite mer komplex än så. Trots att de ger mig diverse skönhetstips och råd samt ger migen stunds avkoppling så anser jag att många veckotidningar kan ge unga tjejer sämresjälvförtroende. Fokus på det ytliga kan ibland bli alltför stort och innehållet talar ofta emotderas försök till att ge tjejer bättre självförtroende.Miriam Nordfors skriver i juli 2006 en artikel i Expressen vid namn "Utseendehets".
